Ebola, Influenza A (H1N1), SARS, MERS, Zika virus and, most recently, COVID-19, have had a massive global impact in terms of economic disruption, strain on local and global public health resources and, above all, human health. We used SciVal and Scopus® data* from 1996 to 2018 to analyze scholarly output, trending topics and top research organizations working to strengthen our understanding of infectious disease outbreaks. Discover SciVal › Shaded area shows period of increased publications following outbreak and percentage increase during the period. Following an outbreak of a disease, we see a sharp spike in disease-specific publications, showcasing the research community’s remarkable ability to quickly respond to public health needs. This is evidenced by a rise in publication counts following outbreaks of SARS, Influenza A (H1N1), Ebola and Zika virus. Infectious disease research spikes following an outbreak
